- MS. Ashmole 44 (Selected pages online) — 15th century, middle; English, likely north. Gisela Guddat-Figge suggested an origin of Northern England (1976, p. 246), supported by Duggan and Turville-Petre (1989, p. xxv). LALME describes the scribe's dialect as substantially of Durham, or possibly S[outh] Northumberland, but with odd features of apparently N[orth] W[est] Midland origin. For a detailed analysis of this and the Durham manuscript, see Gert Ronberg (1985).
